Abstract
Predictive feedforward control whereby past and the planned movements of certain process input variables are used in planning the control of some selected process output variables without allowing for the impact of the certain process input variables on those selected process output variables to impact planned movements of the certain process input variables. Existing model-based predictive control systems can be modified by incorporating a control package that is encoded with the predictive feedforward technique to control industrial multivariable process systems. A method includes (a) identifying a dynamic process model for the multivariable process system; and (b) implementing a dedicated feedforward control whereby within the processing unit certain process input variable signals are used by the processing unit for planning control of selected process signal output variable signals by adjustment of other process input variable signals to one or more manipulated actuators without impact to the certain process input variable signals.
